Preconference Workshop
The two-day preconference workshop offered in January at the annual meeting is course is designed for EMS medical directors and quality leaders who want to improve the clinical quality of their service and need the tools to be more effective.
During the course, participants learn the tenets of improvement science and how to practically apply these lessons to your environment, be it a small agency, a larger EMS system or a state-wide effort.
The preconference workshop takes place over two days, guiding participants through the basic structure of quality improvement and highlighting challenges and lessons learned regarding data, leading change, project management and more.
